Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for GERD, to include as secondary to service-connected migraines. The Veteran's contention is that his GERD is secondary to his service-connected migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The Board found the examiner's opinion inadequate because it did not rule out the possibility of aggravation.
